915 gearbox

[DORIGTT]

Hey Bugat5speed,

How much would the 915 nosecone and mount cost shipped here to the US?

Hi DORIGTT,

the nose cone costes 300 Euro without VAT and the traverse 215. You must calculate another 50 Euro for freight by DHL or others. I do also have a laser cut rear traverse for the 915 now. It´s working with intermediate aluminium blocks that fit the surface of the 915 bellhousing. These blocks have vertical and horizontal areas, where rubber blocks are mounted to. The traverse is powder coated and costs 160 Euro incl. VAT (traverse, 2 casted al. blocks, 4 rubber blocks). Without VAT it is 138 Euro. Do also have axle flanges for the thick spline with 100 mm diameter.

What concerns the problems with clutch, clutch cable, hydraulic clutch and others I can tell you that we are working with a pushed clutch type. By this you can use the flywheel of the T3 bus (228 mm) and also you can use the clutch bearing. The pedal can easily be pressed and the clutch is working fine. We offer some parts for this conversion like a guidance bushing for the bus bearing. It´s much cheaper working with this type of clutch with a 915 and it´s working very fine. We do also use this set for the Subaru Turbo conversions with 915.

Wally, I hope I did not again make too many mistakes whilst translating. Tried to get hold of some info of the Apfelbeck-project, but noone wanted to answer me.

So you are saying that the clutch setup from a T-2 is being used without problems?

Are the splines on the 915 mainshaft the same as the 228mm VW T-2 clutch setup?

I've tried to translate your website to get information, but it is somewhat difficult to understand.

Wow! That is very good news Martin!
When do you expect that all the 228mm T3 parts -> 915 will be ready to order?

Your english is just fine, at times even better than some native english spoken persons
I know you have had some answers by now. They were send before, but I understood we made a mistake in the e-mail adress, as we foud-out later
Sorry for the confusion.
